What is Alimony?
Alimony (spousal support/spousal maintenance) is financial support paid by one ex-spouse to another after divorce. It is intended to provide financial stability to the lower-earning or non-earning spouse. The amount and duration—and whether alimony will be granted at all—depends on a number of different case-specific factors. In Florida, there are four different types of spousal support:
- Temporary alimony;
- Bridge-the-gap alimony;
- Rehabilitative alimony; and
- Durational alimony.

Florida’s Alimony Laws Were Comprehensively Reformed in 2023
On July 1st, 2023, Senate Bill 1416 took effect in Florida. The legislation dramatically reformed our state’s alimony laws. We have an in-depth understanding of how the new reforms impact the rights, responsibilities, and financial interests of our clients. Here are some essential points to understand about our state’s reformed alimony laws:
- Permanent alimony is no longer an available option in Florida;
- Durational alimony is the longest form term of alimony—and its maximum duration is restricted based on the length of marriage; and
- Florida’s alimony law now allows courts to consider adultery—by either spouse.
